Children’s Ministry
Welcome!
It is our great joy to offer classes and events for the children and families at CCC!
Our Children's Ministry hosts several family-centered events throughout the year like the Harvest Fest and also our kids (ages 4-12) have the opportunity to enjoy a week of Vacation Bible School (VBS) each summer.
Sunday School at CCC:
We have classes for all ages! During the 1st service at 9:15 am we have classes for ages Newborn-12th grade. And during the 2nd service at 11 am we have classes for ages Newborn-4th grade. All kids are checked-in by a parent/guardian at our check-in desk located by the front doors. We also make sure to record any allergy information for our teachers/leaders.
We want our children to learn and grow in their knowledge of Christ, and we want them to have fun while doing it! So as teachers/leaders we always keep in mind a balance between fun activities and time for that week’s lesson and more direct learning/discussion.
The main content of our curriculum comes from The Biggest Story Bible by pastor Kevin DeYoung and illustrated by Don Clark. The Biggest Story Curriculum incorporates a host of integrated print and digital components to teach kids key Bible stories from Genesis to Revelation. It features 104 Old and New Testament Scripture lessons for kindergarten through fifth grade, and we are modifying the lessons to work in our preschool and toddler classrooms also.
In addition to using the provided curriculum our teachers (toddlers to 6th grade) often create supplemental lesson materials. These additional lesson materials are always in agreement with the teachings and practices of Christ Community Church as contained in the Statement of Faith.
Once a month we have a Kids’ Church Sunday. Typically, it is the 1st Sunday of the month. This is where our classes ages Kindergarten–6th grade gather together and get to join in on a peer led skit and group worship and lesson time. This is a wonderful time for our kids to get to participate and lead their peers in learning more about God’s Word.
CCC Children’s Ministry Mission:
The Children’s Ministry of CCC seeks to partner with parents to disciple the next generation of faithful Christ followers.
How do we seek to help foster Family Discipleship?
Each week in the bulletin we have a Family Follow-up highlighting what your children have learned and a few simple questions that you can use to help them recall and discuss the lesson taught in Sunday School. We encourage parents to take time at home to remind their kids of the truths they learn at church each Sunday.
